I want double my money back if the free program doesn’t work!

Yeah but breaking like six computers to do it, or one computer six times, seems like a pretty steep price for that when I basically just use my computer for gaming browsing and the occasional audio/video edit.

… So what should I try Linux again?

And my comment was more to comment on the attitude rather than Linux itself.

Since we’re talking about how people come off, you come off as one of those people who like to think they are logical and rational but are very dismissive of emotions (of others) and come off as condescending, because you are. You’re also probably pedantic.

So, to appeal to your rational side, just because a decision is based off of emotion doesn’t inherently invalidate it. If someone said “3 isn’t a prime number you donkey” and you got mad and argued that it was, you’re still correct even if the way you got to that conclusion wasn’t rational.

It’s probably a variation of ad homonym but I’m not going to bother to look up the specifics.

Or maybe they just say they will try it to get you to stop badgering them about Linux

It’s a little calculated, but probably wouldn’t get picked up on by people.

Yeah, it’s a piss baby attitude. Why do you care if they don’t?

Fair enough, and who knows, maybe I will try it, I like open source and everything. It’s just op’s attitude was unappealing to say the least.

It’s less of a knee jerk reaction of insolence against some perceived authority to rebel against, and more that I found the demeanor and entitlement of the post to be so utterly repugnant that I was put off. “You said you’d use Linux and didn’t how dare you”. It’s like a toddler throwing a tantrum over people whom may not exist.

As for your related question, the subtext is that you are accusing me of being an unthinking person who reacts only out of emotion, and I don’t particularly care for that, nor do I have any reason to tell you my internal mental processes, so I decline answering it.

This made me never want to try Linux.

Ok but you see, that was part of the plan all along!

Ok but what if… We just got rid of sports.
